binliner 0 Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 Not really any new mods (just a few tweeks) but as it actually stopped raining long enough for me to wash the car this weekend and I've got a new camera to play with I thought it's time to take some pics... The rain didn't hold off long enough to get the bonnet open so here's an engine pic from a few weeks ago... Link to post Share on other sites

binliner 0 Posted March 31, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 i love this car its so clean must have cost u so much money to do tho looks sweetThanks, but like Mike said haven't spent a lot at all... coilovers, wheels and leather recaros are about the only main things. The bodywork is pretty much standard US spec apart from the black grill, badges, mirrors and lights etc which I've done myself Link to post Share on other sites

spindat45 0 Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 Looking good Justin, great pics! I remember seeing this not long after you bought it sailing past me in Colchester. It looked good standard but the TT Comps and that lower stance are just right. A little over two years ago when I bought my VR Sparkz recommended that I get TT Comnps but I didn't know what they were. He showed me a pic of your old Black VR with them on and I've not looked back. Picked up my set in Dec 05 for £200 . I've not gone as highly polished and blingy like yourself and many others but you gotta admit, there aren't many OE wheels that look as smart on a MK3. Looking forward to seeing the car in all its glory at a few shows this yearKevin Link to post Share on other sites
pimpcat 0 Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 i mean if u look at the bay its clean as a wistle the pain looks like its been resprayed nd the comps polished wud have cost a bit i know they come standard like that over there which is why they have the cool lil rabit on it Link to post Share on other sites

Phat VR6 3 Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 Looks very nice. Now why did i think your engine bay was going to be 100% chrome lol... Have you had your number plate recces smoothed on the front bumper or is that how US spec once come like Link to post Share on other sites
binliner 0 Posted March 31, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 US cars don't have a front plate recess as most states don't require a plate at the front... had my last 2 engine bays polished/chromed fancied a change this time Link to post Share on other sites

I picked these comps up already polished, don't think I'd have gone to the effort of polishing another set myself... nearly did them matt black a few weeks ago but couldnt bring myself to do it!
